I have the original ๐ง Zombie ๐งโโ๏ธ Dice ๐ฒ game and it was a lot of fun playing it with my kids. Each of us would draw our zombies on our brains scorepad. Mine would always have a smiley face and I remember Annie Marie would say โnobody is buying your friendly zombie actโ when Iโd get shot ๐ฅ ๐
Wouldn't you know it... Kristin played Zombie Dice Horde Edition by Steve Jackson Games again recently! You need to eat as many tasty brains as you dare, without getting shotgunned. It's a ton of dice rolling zombie fun. What have you been playing? #WhatDidYouPlayMondays

Being the suit of worldly possessions, the coins offered some unique opportunities to be much more literal. For example, on the five I was able to show losing or gaining wealth depending on the orientation of the card. Kickstarter: ltltarot.com #tarot #minorarcana #coins #pentacles #kickstarter

โPlaying with unsleeved cards is just the right thing to do. It feels better, you donโt have to waste money on those damned sleeves, and you can catch whatever germs are on the hands of people who touch the cards, building up a natural immunity to virtually any disease."

This week on Casual Magic, the return of my dear dear friend @gavinverhey.bsky.social because there is no way i was gonna wrap up without one last visit from my most prolific guest youtu.be/NZ1N9zS6UYw?...
I love a Zirda deck filled with weirdo cards with activation costs that are a *little* too expensive to play normally
Zirda, the Dawnwaker is the EDHREC Commander of the Day! This Elemental Fox is ranked 945 overall with 2.71k decks overall in our database atop mostly Combo and Artifact themed lists. edhrec.com/commanders/z... #edh #mtg #mtgcommander #commander #magicthegathering
1000% unsurprising. Manchin has never been "moderate" or bi-partisan. He's always been pro-corruption, so he and Collins are birds of a feather.
In many ways, this is not in honor of moderation or bipartisanship, but an embrace of corruption. Collins has been in power a long time, with serious allegations about her behavior. Even more important is that the Senate Majority is in play for the party Manchin supposedly represents.

Iโm old enough where letter writing was how we communicated long distance outside of phone calls until my 20s. When switching to email I struggled because I would compose long multi-paragraph emails, and people would just answer my first point. It took a lot of rage to learn single topic emails ๐
